This guy (John Condoban) is quite a fan of the new PD i30 and has been driving a PD SR for some time. He gives a simple explanation of the way they work and is going to do 3 more videos about them which I will try and remember to add to this thread.

Watched that one last night, he's different. Also wonder if he's sponsored by Kia / Hyundai.  Love his Ford rants though. DCT series should be interesting

He gets accused of that a lot, but he also likes Subaru and Mazda and a few others. He reckons it's more about the ones he recommends avoiding like Ford, Holden, VW etc..

He annoys me to no end that guy but it was still a good introduction to DCT's, I'm interested to see his further updates :goodjob2:

Yeah, generally I don't watch him but after watching a few more episodes and turning on my auto filter to sift out some of his "madness" they can be interesting.

Occasionally he's almost normal (like in this one)  :crazy1: :snigger:

It filled in some gaps in my knowledge.

I liked his air bag one too. He is almost normal in that one. I must say I quite like his style, but could see how others don't.

Oh and as for his digging into some of the car makers. If anything he was saying was wrong, I'm sure the multi national car makers would instruct one of their junior lawyers to shut him down.
